That should read: There is a rumor....Not "this is a rumor"!!!!

The 503 & 616 are still languishing in Rotterdam awaiting CSX to resolve
the meltdown in and around Selkirk...

The 507 is still bad-ordered at E. Deerfield...

To Pauducah for rebuild.

Not sure what the rest of CN's statement about other house cleaning means...

This has got me thinking - the other locomotives sent are already at -2 standards... will the 345 be rebuilt to -2/-3 standards, or just rebuilt, and kept as is, a straight GP40?

507, 503 and 616 are going to Paducah for rebuild. Wait and watch...
Just wondering if there is any news on this project and did the 507 ever leave Deerfield.
Since they were supposed to rebuild five and three have been done (518, 519 and 515) are there any in the shop at Waterville being rebuilt
at this time.

What about these two?

#500 has been oos for 8 years.

#513 has been oos for 12 years.

I wonder if these will be scrapped/rebuilt?

Thanks to Bill Gingrich for his excellent roster info!!!

EDIT: From this pic, it looks like they are scrap material:

Per a post on the Pan Am forum the 513 has been loaded on a flatcar and the 500 moved to be loaded. Anybody up that way that can check it out???? Would like to catch that passing through Rockingham!!!!
